Community Integration Project
The Community Integration Project (CIP) assists people with newly acquired disabilities adapt to their housing and daily living needs while maintaining their quality of life within their home and community. Housing is a significant barrier for people with disabilities transitioning from rehabilitation to independent living - the CIP offers two specially-designed and equipped apartments to help during this process.

This modern complex includes a mix of residents with and without physical disabilities. The 2 CIP apartments, designed with fully-accessible washrooms and kitchens, are available for occupancy up to 6 months.
During their time at the CIP, clients also have access to support and services including:
Temporary housing at St. George's place and assistance securing permanent housing.
Professional rehabilitation management focused on the individual's goals and assistance accessing rehabilitation services.
Help identifying the individual's network of community supports
Transitional support for the transfer from rehabilitation to independent housing.
Assistance developing necessary skills to hire and monitor personal attendants.
